In a Letter received from Mr. Knight, dated the 27th of 

 June, he mentions that he had then seen the full result of his 

 experiment on the mode of raising early Peas, above de- 

 scribed. The plants so treated had produced a very abun- 

 dant crop at least twelve days earlier than those sown at the 

 same time in the usual way, and with a much more rapid 

 succession of produce.
